I'm having the strangest problem. I'm usually just a lurker that can find any answer through this board and doing some goggle homework but this has me stumped. So my first post is in order.
I upgraded to the "official" unofficial AT&T WM6 ROM, although I may eventually go to vp3g's latest 3.61 soon as the results look great.
Anyway I'm running Windows Vista and using MS exchange server 2003. When I synced the first time. after the upgrade, all my appointments w/ notes transfer and show up on my 8525. However if I make an edit of an appointment note or create a new appointment and add a note it doesn't show up on my 8525. These are the notes inside the appointment, not the separate notes section of Outlook. I use this area all the time for conference call notes and to store my travel itinerary. It's one of the most important things for me on my phone, which is why this problem is driving me crazy!!
I know the note is still in Outlook and on the exchange server, however it doesn't show up on my phone. On Friday I did a hard reset started over and still the problem persists. Any suggestions?
I never had any of this problem ever.
does it happen if you sync to PC?
if u r using over the air push sync, is your kb limit to low and thus cutting this bit off?
not much help sorry, except to confirm that it dont have this problem n used wm5, black x 4 versions, official version from htc, cooked tnt 2.0 and various others.
now on htc "official" n all good here.

It appears that the answer may be that I had a bad USB sync cable. I've been having a lot of total sync failures (did I mention I hate Vista's Windows Mobile Device Center) and a new cable looks like it cured both problems.
I have zero interest in Sprint Picture Mail. However, the account is sort of "hardwired" into the phone and there is no (official) way to disable it that I can find. It doesn't even show up in the list of accounts under Options in Pocket Outlook.
Does anybody know some sort of tweak to get rid of this account?
This would include...
1. Removing it from "send" options when emailing pictures (album)
2. Account chooser for Pocket Oulook
3. TF3D icon on the mail tab

I believe its an extra cab that installs after a hard reset. Try hard resetting, and stopping the customization.
If there are any Sprint cabs you want they are floating around here or ppcgeeks.

Well, that's definitely a solution, but I'd rather not have to hard reset my device. I have the settings just the way I like it now.
Does anybody know how to get rid of it after it's already installed?
just stick a peice of black tape over the portion that says picturemail on your phone...

I'd love to know how to dump this as well without a hard reset and manually adding the all the other useful cabs myself.
Thanks for posing the question, now to wait for a good answer....
Try downloading the cab from somewhere, installing it, it will say the previous version has to be removed, after it removes the previous version, hit cancel to not install the new version.
Might be worth a shot, although I don't know why you wouldn't want picture mail, it's not like you have to use it, but why remove features?

That is a good idea. I'll have to try that!
As for why, good question. I don't really know why it bothers me so much. Maybe just because I like less clutter? Maybe it's an OCD type of thing. :-D One of the first things I did was install Advanced Config and remove the sprint music/tv tabs because i didn't want to use them, even though i didn't have to use them. :-D

I'm definitely going to try that! Good idea.
As for why, I don't like the extra account when I got from my text to email accounts BUT the main reason is because it works like POO POO! I hate how it is so damn clunky in it's operation and even though I don't use it to send picmail, if I get a picmail it goes in there.
I applaud Sprint for trying but damn, try a little harder next time. I could have done without this particular crap a$$ feature.
I'm also very interested in dumping Sprint Picture Mail. Since we're limited to six accounts in Pocket Outlook, its being there keeps me from adding in another account I actually use, so it's frustrating that they would add that in by default. Tried deleting all of the registry keys, installed files etc that are done as part of the CAB installer, but it's STILL there! Haven't been able to figure out how to bypass the customization step, otherwise I'd do a HR in a heartbeat and see if skipping the CAB install would work, so still awaiting a solution to this...
i tried but sprint mail was not completely removed , i even installed the other version and it got completely installed and i could not un install it using memaid ! there should be a smarter way toget rid of this sprint B/S.
i don't think it can be removed this way.
you will need to load a custom rom without the picmail.
in the time you have wasted waiting for an easy solution you could have flashed and reloaded all of your settings.
Not everybody wants a to use a cooked ROM. You know, it really gets tiring when know-it-alls pop into threads and instead of contributing something useful just say "you should have just done x,y,z instead of doing what you actually wanted to do." It's already been established earlier in the thread that hard resetting (which running a cooked ROM requires) is not an acceptible solution. I do not appear to be alone in wanting an alternative solution. If you don't have a solution or a constructive comment, can't you just, you know, not post anything?
maan76 - Thanks for trying that method out. I've been too busy to tinker. At some point, I'm going to try scouring the registry and DLLs in \Windows\. Pocket Office is extended just like any other MS app -- through DLLs. So unless Picture Mail has been hardwired through some bizarre method or bundled together with a load of other useful features into one big unremovable DLL, I have got to think that there must be some DLL somewhere that can be unregistered somehow -- it just hasn't been discovered yet. I hope anyway! But you never know...

I echo thx2100 but will say the MAIN reasons I don't want to just run a cooked ROM right now is that the only real advantage at this time is they are light on the apps to free up ram. I come from the 6700 and 6800 and I'm in heaven with the speed and ease that the TP has when running multiple apps.
None of the new ROM's right now really dazzle me but if one comes around that is hot sh$# then I might run it.
With my stock ROM I have no surprises and only one really annoying feature which is the picmail but I can live with.
yep I totally agree thx 200,that there is no need for the cooked ROMs right now for the TP , why I am risking myself in a cooked ROM ?????????? to save RAM nop ! RAM is highhhhhhh and we have plenty of it in tp not like the mogul when the people were racing to build a ROM with higher free RAM after booting ! to save couple megabytes !, now with this strong hardware in TP , we have plenty of RAM .
the other reason which drove us before for flashing ROMs is the new applications (ex Manila for htc 6800 mogul ,u tube......etc) now we ve got the most updated versions of these software in the touch pro.
no logic reason for flashing ROMs at this moment , probably when new software will come up or super tweaks that require flashing ROMs , but definetely not now , we are still new and still learning about the Touch pro.I am seeing junior members building ROMs cause it is easy with this 288 MB RAM , I bet nobody was able to build ROMs for the Apache or the Mogul cause of the limited RAM.
we have a long way in improvement in touch pro before building ROMs.

Using MSCEInfo, I've been able to identify every registry change and file modification made by the Sprint PictureMail CAB and have undone them all to no effect. So, either some other routine is making changes related to PicMail or it's hardcoded into the ROM. Hopefully, it's not the latter...
Good luck and please let us know if you find out how to do it. I've pretty much given up and am just waiting to find a stripped down ROM for the Sprint Touch Pro that doesn't include PictureMail, Touch Guide Mobile or any of the other bloatware that Sprint decided we had to have.
Solution Removal Sprint Picture Mail
I found the solution this morning and I successfully removed the sprint picture mail and I also successfully added my yahoo mail
here what you need to do
1-install the sprint picture mail Cab
2-using resco file explorer or anything else go to windows folder
3-in resco explorer , unclick hide hidden files and unclick hilde file extensions
4-look for sprint picture mail cab , next to it you will find sprint picture mail.exe and some other files cary the same name.
5-this .exe is made by the second installation you just made not ROM related , but still you can not remove it ,for some reason.
so rename it into anything .exe , and do the same for the rest of the files including the cab , not delete them all you should be able to do so .
I did these steps exactly in that order and I opened the messages folder and I was soooo happy not seeing the picture mail account .
Good luck guys

Can you point out which specific cab you installed (was it just the one built into the TP ROM?) and which file(s) you removed to get this to work?
Also, can you confirm that this removed the Sprint PictureMail account from both the Outlook account list AND the Mail TF3D tab???

Well I seem to have completely broke my ability to get picmail so I'll hold back on any instructions. I'll do some more testing and may just have to install the freakn program again.... OR I might load up a bare bones ROM and load cab's I see fit, 1 will undoubtedly NOT make the cut.

does this delete the existing outlook email accounts ?
That's what I wonder too, also it would be great to know how it works on 6.1, I've read a few posts in other forums and it seems it runs fine on 6.1 but why have microsoft blocked it for 6.1 and only given 6.5 users the option to download it... There must be a reason behind it...
I'll give it a whirl on install on a 6.1 emulator.

Did the beta change anything for anyone in outlook? supposed to enable "conversation view", but not on my Touch Pro 2 with WM 6.5?
It didn't change anything with Outlook at all. Just installed 2010 versions of Word, Excel, oneNote and PPT, as well as Sharepoint Workspace Mobile (which doesn't launch for me).
can this be installed in Storage Card? or is it better to install it in main memory?

What is Share Point Workspace? Clicking on it does not open anything for me.
OEM made but toolbar icons gone
Just cooked my first ROM with neokit and used ervius package creator to make OEMs.. If I install Office 2010 from a cab all is fine (except sharepoint doesnt open, no change to outlook, but word, excel and powerpoint work fine), my problem is if I make it an OEM, Neokit tells me there is a problem with GDIplus.dll and mcf.dll because they're folders.. so I went to the folders and manually added the 2 files and removed them from the OEM, now it imports fine into Neokit.. but after flashing, there are no icons on the toolbars in Word etc, the toolbar is there and items are selectable but the icons are completely blank.. What am I doing wrong? Im new to cooking.. perhaps someone can upload their OEM in English for me to try please
Edit: Solved it.. I think the problem was my kitchen was having trouble replacing the old GDIplus.dll and mcf.dll files but I think I removed some other files accidentally also the first time
I can`t install in the external memory from my diamond the programm only wanna install into the main memory someone know why this is happen?
It appears that the new Powerpoint and Sharepoint are not compatible with WM6.1 - 'not a valid PocketPC application'. Excel and Word are running fine...
I ran dependency walker and it seems GPSVC.dll and IESHIMS.dll are missing from my ROM so that may be why Powerpoint and Sharepoint do not work.
works cool. i had the office mobile that came with the new ROm in put in. what difference does this one have ? the waorkspace thingy didnt work on mine. any reasons for that ?
I am having an issue with my HTC Touch Pro. I have the setup listed below and I am having a problem pulling up e-mail. My MMS works great. Arcsoft checks the email servers on time and I see e-mails in my inbox. The interface between Manilla and Arcsoft works OK too. As a matter of fact the preview in Manilla works. HOWEVER, when I open Arcsoft and set it to either Gmail or Yahoo and try to open a message from my inbox, I get nothing. It stays in the same inbox window. In fact it slightly freezes up and I forced to close out the application by the "x" or sometimes using the home hardware key. I have searched on the forums and on Google and I can't find anything. (Maybe I am not search for the correct terms?) Anyway, all help would be appreciated. This is actually the most stable setup I've had to date, so I would like to keep it. (FYI, my reason for being on WM 6.1 is my corporate software Goodlink is not happy on cooked WM 6.5 versions.)
WM 6.1 2.01.651.6 (Update Sprint ROM from HTC + Sprint patch)
Manilla Gen.Y by yozgatg (2.1.38680.0 VGA)
Arcsoft 5.2.8.45 (says Composer version 5.2.13.45)
Anyone? Does anyone still use this forum?
This is what I used to get SPRINT to work... you need the old ARCSOFT... install the cab with the #1 and then soft reset, then install the second cab and soft reset again, this should also allow you to mms is you dont have it... sorry, this worked for me but I am running winmo 6.5.5 build 23544...

Thanks for the reply. I didn't think I could use that version with the newer TouchFlo. I guess I will give it a try.
So your version didn't work for me either. The issue is not with the MMS but the e-mail. It just will not open up the message.
FYI, the problem is solved. I removed this cab "HTC Message_Enhancement_1_1_19173323_04" and the issue cleared up.

It's unfortunate that Verizon Windows Phone owners can't get in on this update – that's because it only is available to Windows Phones on AT&T, Sprint, and T-Mobile.

If its any help this is version
Bing Mobile 5.1.2010.3290
Previous was
5.0.11249.0
Its alot quicker than the previous version and they have moved the menus to the bottom. I cant see much change.
I still prefer the old Bing/Live Search layout and configuration.
Movie times used to be so easy to browse, with the new style it does a bing search instead of getting the data from a provider. I think MS decided to cheap out. It's now basically useless in my books.

Yeah, but isn't the Diamond WM 6.1?
I tested it on 6.1, but don't see why i won't work upwards, maybe the two are different versions indeed for different OS.
Mine worked on VGA TouchPro WM 6.1
i cant save 'gps tracking.' it remains unchecked everytime i check the settings. therefore gps is unable to locate me. this pop up always shows everytime i attempt to locate my position, "allow bing to access and store your location to improve searching and for navigation?" it doesnt matter if i chose ok or cancel because there are no change in results regardless. google maps is working fine for me so im sure its not a gps issue from my phone.
